Trial summary

Delirium is a frequent and severe condition, especially in old adults. Its occurrence is due to a drug in 30% of cases. In 2009, the French national health authority (Haute Autorité de Santé) mentioned proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) among the drugs causing delirium. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Association Between Delirium and Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors: Analysis of the Global Pharmacovigilance Database

Delirium is a frequent and severe condition, especially in old adults. Its occurrence is due to a drug in 30% of cases. In 2009, the French national health authority (Haute Autorité de Santé) mentioned proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) among the drugs causing delirium. Most reports of delirium associated with PPI use in the literature are due to severe hyponatremia due to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. However, a few case reports have described the occurrence of delirium PPI without hyponatremia related to PPI use. In 2016, a prospective observational study including 675 old adults found an association between PPI use and the occurrence of delirium.

Evidence linking delirium and PPI use is thus scarce. By using data from the pharmacovigilance database of the World Health Organization (WHO), the investigators aim to describe the characteristics of delirium reports in which PPI were suspected to be involved, and to evaluate the association between PPI use and delirium, and the impact of hyponatremia in this association by performing a disproportionality analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Proton Pump Inhibitor Adverse Reaction and Delirium, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Delirium occuring when using PPI (time frame: 09/02/2022). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05815550, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Mar 2025.
